Is the shop smith worthwhile and does anyone have a second hand one for sale?

My father bought a Shopsmith Mark iv back when they first came out and we used that thing till no end. It is great for the hobbiest, do it your selfer, we even ran a handy man bussiness with it, of course you have to cut, shape, sand or whatever at home and take it to the job. We still have it and is being used at my brothers boat shop now. I would recomend it if you like woodworking, it is however more of a pain to use than individual machines, you learn to do everything you need to on a certain tool, then switching it around to the next tool.
